The recovered remnants of the Grey fleet’s ships and equipment revealed a level of technology barely above 2060s bleeding-edge technologies. Human scientists and engineers reproduced allotropic alloys in a few years and cracked the base-17 alphanumeric programming languages fairly quickly; what took them years to really grasp was the alien system engineering and design philosophies behind the tech.

Unlicensed testing of greytech on bonobo monkeys is believed to be responsible for the apperance of “chupacabre” populations in Mexico and the southwest United States. Some attribute their spread to labs improperly disposing of lab animals, while others believe that the hairless, psi-active creatures were deliberately established in colonies.
